Someone forgot to tie down their plane. VID
 

Aww, neat!

That was cool :thumbsup

That wasn't a vtol... maybe a vtocl (vertical takeoff and crash landing)

I work for an airline now I have seen the wind move regional jets the nose off the ground and move them wicked

Ouch,that will cause some damage

cool shit

wow.... so how common is that? i'm guessing it's a combo of excessive wind + really light plane but i'm wondering about the where this falls on the odds scale?

not really high winds, i dont know about that particular plane, but maybe takes only 35-40mph winds to make it fly. but it wasn't flying, it took off more like a kite.

usually in high winds... like 40-50+ mph sustained, if you have small planes like piper super cubs or cessna 172s/180s/185s etc you just adjust the trim and loosen the tie downs and let them fly

LOL big wind.
